At my last fill-up, I calculated 17.26 MPG.
80%highway, but no one can do a constant speed so the cruise gets adjusted....a lot.
Or I end up having to pass at which point, i just floor it.
Truck is bone stock....for now.
I could probably get better if I stopped stomping the pedal at take-offs.
But, coming from a 7.3L non-turbo diesel engine....can you blame me for loving the power?
